Frick And Frack

Yesterday, I had two birthday elves, aka Frick and Frack, at my front door with belated birthday gifts. What a true joy friends are! They say friends are the family that you choose. Please, no offense to my family, they are kind, loving, and funny, mostly funny. I haven't lived in the same town as my family for almost thirty years, so friends have always had to fill in that void. I have friends that I have laughed with, and cried with. Laughing is a lot more fun. I love it when I find out a friend has a crazier family than I do. You know who you are! What a wonderful invention, friendship. After the fabulous and creative gifts were opened, and Frick and Frack had long since gone home, I was still laughing about their visit, and thinking that laughter really is the best gift. Who am I kidding? I love presents! Thanks also to my friends that were brave enough to sing "Happy Birthday" on my answering machine. So here 's to old friends, and new friends. You can never have too many.

About Me

I'm a mixed media artist, that has been on a creative journey most of my life. I'm a native Californian, and I live on the central coast. I've been married for thirty two years to the love of my life. The years with Mitch have flown by. We have two great kids. Austin is seventeen and just starting his senior year of high school. He is one of the funniest people I have ever met. I can't wait to see what he grows up to be. We also have a sometimes sweet and always smart daughter, Annie. She spends a lot of time with me in the studio, and is very creative. I can't forget the fluffy four legged children, Daisy & Milo. They never fail to make me smile. I'm so grateful that I get the privilege to create. I hope you enjoy my art, and I thank you for being a part of this blogging adventure. You can contact me at crimsonheartstudios@charter.net
